I highly reccomend Red Apple Lipstick! Afterglow has some shades as well. I use Red Apple because they have really pretty pink and shimmer shades. I have 4 of their lipsticks and two glosses. They are also nut and soy free and have a lipstick exchange program. Very nice customer service as well. I know that others have thier favorites.ut I waited over a year and half tofind a pretty pink to replace what I was using....Love RAL They also sale a lipbalm.

They have several pictures of each shade and are pretty true to the color online. I also judged it by how it looked on the models, finally, I pulled out my favorite that I could no longer use and went by that as well. I love french skirt, it has a shimmer to it and you can add other matte shades to it to change them up. I thought the red would be too bold for me, but when they sent me a sample, I use alittle of it with The French Skirt shade. I will say some of the shades are very light feeling and some a little heavy (French Skirt and some glosses) I like that though. I started out with one lipstick and one gloss and went from there. Great people, if you facebook, check out their page there!

Depending on where you live, there are lipsticks you can buy in a store. NARS entire make-up line is gluten free which is sold at various department stores and some make-up specialty stores ( i think MAC sells that line). I believe most bare minerals lipsticks are also gluten free.

To be honest I didn't really know what shades to pick up. I just sort of went off my skin tone (I have very light skin with pink undertones). Skin with pink undertones tend to do better with lip colors that are also pink or reds that are blue based NOT orange. I use Red!, Rebel, New York, Beach Peach and Petal Pusher lipsticks and I have the Metropolis lipgloss. The wonderful thing about Red Apple Lipstick's lipsticks are you can apply sheer coats or layer it on for a more bold look.

I use Red Apple also. I love the red-sometimes I use it over gloss or mix with some of their lighter ones.

I did try Red Apple and love it! I ordered 2 different shades of pink-- one lighter mauve for everyday and a rose shade. They stay on a long time, don't dry my lips out, and taste and smell good. Highly recommend.
